Hi Mike,

With help of Allie, I found your forum poste. Sorry I did not find your poste yesterday and sent you a general solution in case you have lots of parameters to modify.

The modified macro can be:

!parameter calcualtion

T3 = THIC(3) # Varies from unity during op
R7 = RADI(7) * T3
R8 = RADI(8) * T3
R9 = RADI(9) * T3
T7 = THIC(7) * T3
T8 = THIC(8) * T3

! set parameter

SETSURFACEPROPERTY 7, THIC, T7

SETSURFACEPROPERTY 8, THIC, T8

SETSURFACEPROPERTY 7, CURV, 1/R7

SETSURFACEPROPERTY 8, CURV, 1/R8

SETSURFACEPROPERTY 7, CURV, 1/R9

UPDATE

Do you intend to use this as a ZPLM? I am worried as everytime you run it, it scales the related parameters. Please pay attention to this when use.

And the general solution if more parameters are involved:

Use SPRO to get the surface data and scale them, then use SETSURFACEPROPERTY to set up the scaled data.

Since not all parameters are needed to modify, you can build a vector and put the type codes to be scaled into this vector and call it every time.

Here is an example

!put the data into a vector

vec1(1)=2

vec1(2)=3

vec1(3)=5

vec1(4)=6

vec1(5)=10

for i=1,5,1

!call data out of the vector

k=vec1(i)

next

Here is an example of SETSURFACEPROPERTY

Set the thickness of surface 2 to the thickness of surface 1

SETSURFACEPROPERTY 2, THIC, THIC(1)

! Set the value of parameter 4 on surface 11 to 7.3

SURP 11, PARM, 7.3, 4
